  Zero to Snowflake breakfast briefing

  
  

  The Marker Hotel, Grand Canal Quay, Dublin 2

  
  

  Join IMGS and Snowflake for this free breakfast session.

  Conventional data warehouses and Big Data solutions struggle to deliver on their fundamental purpose: to make it easy to amass all your data, enable rapid analytics, and derive data-driven insights for all your business users.

  To solve that, Snowflake built a new SQL data warehouse from the ground up for Cloud. It’s designed with a patented new architecture to handle all aspects of data and analytics. The result? A data warehouse that delivers performance, simplicity, concurrency and affordability not possible with other data warehouses.

  This session will provide an overview of Snowflake and IMGS, and then walk you through a practical demo which showcases how you can shorten your time to insight, instantly scale up or down and analyse all of your data.
